Hey There,

If your issue is with awk, you could double up on awk (pipe one command to the other) and just change your default delimiter for the one search to the ":" symbol, like:
awk -F":" '{print $4}' <-- for example <-- not specific to your script. You might not even have to pipe two awks together, just split the strings separately.

Being somewhat general to help you out since you seem to just about have it. Let me know if I can help any more. I think once you've got the -F delimiter setting worked out, you'll be all set parsing this with awk.

This is interesting, and I was able to solve it using a couple of passes with pipes. For me its just easier to break it up into the steps that you explained and go through them one by one, and use temp files if needed.

You can use a combination of awk '/pattern/' , awk -F"delimiter" and grep -f patternsinfile file
to get the results you need.

Good Luck.
